Sabrina's Adventures

Work and Diet Combo

First of all, let me give a shout out to my mom. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM, I LOVE YOU!!!!

Now, I wanted to keep you updated on my new job. I just want to say that I LOVE IT!!!! This was the best career move that I could have taken in my 16 years at my current employer.

I really believe that where I'm at will take me places that I want to be. Everyone in my department is so wonderful and nice. The environment is nice and such a relaxed atmosphere that I truly enjoy going to work.

My supervisor is great also. Besides my manager, he has to be the best supervisor/manager that I have worked for.

Since I moved back downtown, we don't snack as much; however, my diet hasn't been doing that great. I got stuck in a spot where I was gaining .5 lb here, .2 lb there, 1 lb, 2 lbs...and not really losing. I do try to walk on my lunch hour and when I do walk, I walk a mile atleast.

This week, I lost 2.8 lbs and got under a mark that I was having problems getting under. I think I'm back on track and will make my goal of losing 50 lbs in a year. I'd really like to lose 60, but I'll take 50.

Wish me luck!

Finally Finished!!

We finally finished remodeling the Kitchen. All we need to do within the next months is put in new flooring. Here is a picture of the finished product and you can click my flickr page for more photos.

Renovating my Kitchen

When I bought my house there wasn’t much remodeling that needed to be done. I had the panel painted throughout the house and had carpet put down and that was it. All the wallpaper in both bathrooms and the kitchen was actually nice, so I kept it all up.

I did want to eventually remodel my kitchen. It’s not that it’s that small; there is just NO cabinet space. So, here I was, on a mission. Shane’s uncle said he would do everything to include painting, new floor, new cabinets, new sink & faucets, new countertops for really decent price for me.

Then my Blazer caught on fire and I had to buy a new car. This put a delay on a new kitchen.

Well, I decided to just paint my cabinets a new color and later on replace my kitchen floor. I still won’t have a lot of cabinet space; but it’ll work for now.

This weekend, I started painting my cabinets and went to Home Depot and bought new cabinet handles. It looks really cute so far, I can’t wait until they are finished.

Hopefully by tomorrow or Weds., I will have pictures of my semi-new kitchen!!!

Jacksonville, FL

This past weekend, we went to Jacksonville, FL for Ashley's Cheerleading Competition.

Jacksonville was really nicer than I thought. We stayed right on St. John's River and had a beautiful view. (see pic)

Ashley's team ended up winning and got a really nice jacket for coming in 1st place. We had a good time and I may end up going back to Jacksonville for a vacation. We went to the beach on Saturday and it was a nice beach, clean and the water seemed clean also.

Check out my flickr page for more photos from the weekend.

New Car

Okay this entry is a little late; but I got a new car. Actually, it's a SUV and most people call them trucks; but I call them a car in general.

I got it Monday and it is really nice and I love it!!! I'm glad I didn't go bigger because this one barely fits in my garage. I bought a 2005 Trailblazer. It's dark gray metallic and is really pretty.

My insurance company gave me a great price for my burnt blazer and the car dealer gave me a great deal with awesome financing. In the end, everything turned out really well for me. This time, my prayers were answered. (I prayed the night before about it).

Anywho, here is a picture of what my car looks likes.
